But we generally can't or don't want to go through the motions. "Can't" because there are children and parents who can't afford to let their children study. In spite of any enrollment in a public school, these kids have to do household chores, help their parents hawk whatever wares they sell, beg, etc. So the only time they're really "studying" is the time they actually spend in the school (such as it is).</p> <p>"Don't want to" because we don't see the relevance of what we're learning in school with real life. For me, herein lies the key. We should espouse a more pragmatic approach to teaching. Instructors should be down-to-earth (this means "practical", it doesn't mean humble. Check it.) and teach the kids the wonders of how Math, English, Science, History, Social Science, etc. work in the world. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-75 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:16:15 +0000 christian 75@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>@lonely boy. i believe referring to specialization. those who start early at one language tend to have deeper mastery. but that does not discount the ability of multilinguals. the fact that they can process more than one language is a feat in itself. in the world of economics and business, knowing more is a trump card. this eliminates information rigidities, the more you know the more informed your decision.</p> <p>i still advocate multilingual. because it's reality, a fact of life that no matter how we wish to hide will be there to haunt us. why not take advantage of the situation. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-74 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:15:43 +0000 christian 74@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>@lonely boy. i believe referring to specialization. those who start early at one language tend to have deeper mastery. but that does not discount the ability of multilinguals. the fact that they can process more than one language is a feat in itself. in the world of economics and business, knowing more is a trump card. this eliminates information rigidities, the more you know the more informed your decision.</p> <p>i still advocate multilingual. because it's reality, a fact of life that no matter how we wish to hide will be there to haunt us. why not take advantage of the situation. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-71 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:53:48 +0000 the_boss 71@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>@ applicious: good idea. but its not gonna happen. you identified the problem yourself. kung sa ngayon nga, hindi magawan ng paraan yung pagayos ng systema ng edukasyon sa pilipinas na ingles at pilipino pa lang ang ginagamit na medium of instruction, ano pa kaya pag dinagdagan ng chinese? </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-64 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:54:17 +0000 lonelyboy 64@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>@christian: ewan ko lang a, but I've found that smarter people are those who learned in a single language of instruction during their formative years. Yung mga malupit na ingglisero't ingglisera o kaya yung mga matatatas managalog. Basta yung language nila nung bata, habang nag-aaral, iisa lang. Kaysa sa mga natuto ng iba-ibang language bata pa lang.</p> <p>That's just my personal observation though.</p> <p>@applicious: siryoso ka ba? haha I really don't see what you're advocating happening. Although, you have a very valid point. I myself would want to learn Chinese. (Malaking dagdag bayad sa amin dito sa call center yan) Pero ang hirap! Para sa akin nga, bordering on impossible na siya. I hope everyone else will have better luck hehe </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-58 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 03:35:41 +0000 enzo1213 58@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>english would be better language of instruction, considering that not all concepts can be expressed in filipino. take for example math, we don't have any rough translation of trigonometry, algebra, derivatives, and other advance concepts. but it wouldn't hurt to incorporate vernacular when necessary. i, myself, revert to filipino when i can't understand some concept. i think it's a natural tendency, we go back to our native tongue because it's where we are comfortable. i leran better that way. but in economic point of view, english is more advantageous. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-52 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:46:37 +0000 applicious 52@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>actually, i think we should start incorporating a third language in our education system. chinese would be a good language to learn since china's economy keeps growing. unfortunately, Philippine education is not fundamentally sound. simple textbooks contain many errors. public schools have too few teachers and classrooms and too many students. I hope the noy-mar tandem can address all these if ever they win in may 2010 </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-49 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:01:56 +0000 christian 49@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>it depends, some students cope well with tagalog or pilipino. there's nothing wrong with having two or more language instruction. our country has too many dialects and by all probability, these dialects are the first thing children learn. so if it would be better to teach them in vernacular then why not. of course higher education is different, there's a certain level of competency needed. tagalog or local dialect for lower and basic education but english for secondary and tertiary levels. </p> http://www.marroxas.com/forum/topic/language-of-instruction#post-47 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:25:33 +0000 cutiepie2009 47@http://www.marroxas.com/forum/ <p>Should the language of instruction be in english or tagalog? </p>
